No.If you're not sure, just do what the book says. > Q2. Am I supposed to move the 'linux-x.y.z/include/' files to > '/usr/include/' each time after I install a new kernel? No. You should leave the kernel headers in /usr/include as they were when you installed glibc. > Q3. Which is the "system's include directory" - the '/usr/include/'? Yes > Q4.

New kernels have new features but they should all support the features offered by the headers you installed before glibc. The risk is that if you install new kernel headers into /usr those files will offer new features that glibc (compiled against the old headers) won't support. Things could break and before you know it you're using a live CD to start again. > Q5. What's the "raw kernel headers"? The *.h files in the kernel source. > Q6.

Some of them are private to the kernel and some a functions that the kernel offers to userspace. When the kernel headers are sanitised the private stuff is removed leaving only the public API interface.
